Caesar x Reader (College AU): "I'm Ready"

The pair had a bit of a reputation around campus when you first met them. Caesar and Joseph: two roommates who would never be seen apart from each other, even though they constantly bickered and fought. They would disrupt lectures when Joseph, or JoJo as most people called him, asked the professor a stupid question. Caesar would then yell at him for his ignorance. JoJo would then insult Caesar with the first thing that came to mind. The two would then be escorted out of class, kicking and screaming, by the TA.

You had experienced this firsthand only a few times, for they were only in one of your classes. Unfortunately, however, it was your favorite class: The History of Comics, Manga, and Graphic Novels. They didn't interrupt the class too often, for JoJo seemed to be somewhat knowledgeable about that field. But of course, it had to happen at some point...

You were late for the class that day, when you heard a commotion in the classroom. You strode quickly to the door, bookbag hanging open, tennis shoes untied, as you hurried to into the lecture hall.

Suddenly, the door open. You crashed. Books went flying, you force of the floor against your back knocked the wind out of you. Your pulse pounded in your eardrums, and anger and frustration clenched your muscles. You sat up, ready to chide whoever had been so clumsy as to knock you to the ground, but instead, you were struck silent.

He kneeled down in front of you, his hand gently outstretched to help you to your feet. His expression was tender and concerned as he grabbed your forearm, your waist, as he drew you to standing. He was muttering apologies that you couldn't quite make out as he scrambled to gather the papers that had fallen. You were enraptured, entranced, enchanted as he carefully replaced the papers back into your bookbag. Before he gave it back however, he slowly kissed your hand.

"I am terribly sorry. Please forgive me, mia bella signora."

You weren't extremely surprised by his soft touch, though your heart still fluttered at the handsome face before you. Caesar certainly had the reputation of being a "lady-killer," though he and JoJo were equally popular amongst the girls. But you saw something different in his eyes, a genuineness in his gentleness...

After you had (quite literally) run into each other, he and Joseph began to sit with you at lunch. You were surprised to learn that they lived in the same dorm, but nonetheless pleased when they began to dine with you. They probably only sat with you because you were one of the few people in the cafeteria at such a late hour, but you enjoyed the company all the same.

It was a normal day like this when you brought your tray to the usual table, however, no one was there. In all the weeks, maybe even months, you had sat with them, they had never been absent and rarely been late. But on your seat, you found a small envelope: It was sealed with a read heart sticker, and across the front bore your name in elegant cursive. Your eyebrows raised in wonder, and you tried your hardest to calm your thoughts; your mind was already racing to wild conclusions.

You gently pried the envelope open, revealing a short letter on pink decorated stationery:

"My dearest (y/n),

For quite some time I have admired you from afar. You are smart and kind and gentle, and from the first moment I saw you I was thrown under your spell. I'd very much like to speak with you in private to confess my true feelings. Please meet me in the courtyard at 9:00.

–Love, someone who wishes to know you better."

Your heart lurched as you read that beautiful penmanship. Who could possibly write you such a sappy letter? It wasn't Joseph. Definitely not. You certainly wanted it to be Caesar, but knew he wouldn't be into someone like you. Even so, you smiled gently as you sighed. Maybe...
